He studied and practiced with Buddhist masters of the Kagyu practice lineage in Europe as well as in India and Nepal. This involved many years of intense retreat. D\u00f3nal also spent a number of years at the Krishnamurti Centre in Varanasi as resident Buddhist scholar. Thus the radical inquiry of Krishnamurti informs his approach.<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/calendar\/event?action=TEMPLATE&amp;text=Bardo+Retreat+with+D%C3%B3nal+Creedon&amp;dates=20210312T190000\/20210320T100000&amp;details=Theme%3A+Bardo+%E2%80%98we+are+such+stuff%E2%80%99%0A%E2%80%9CWe+are+such+stuff%0A%0AAs+dreams+are+made+on%2C+and+our+little+life%0A%0AIs+rounded+with+a+sleep.%E2%80%9D%0A%0AShakespeare%3A+The+Tempest+iv.i.%0AI+haven%E2%80%99t+written+anything+very+extensive+as+theme.+I+tried+a+few+but+felt+they+were+too+wordy.+Maybe+the+less+said+the+better.+I%E2%80%99ll+talk+mainly+in+the+context+of+bardo+teachings.+I+think+this+will+do+as+a+notice+-+D%C3%B3nal.%0A%0AD%C3%B3nal+has+kindly+offered+to+run+a+virtual+retreat+for+the+Southern+Africa+Centres+from+12+%E2%80%93+20+March+2021.+Participants+will+need+to+register+to+obtain+the+link.%0A%0AParticipants+will+join+via+ZOOM%0ABookings+open+1+Feb+2021%0AAlthough+we+will+all+be+attending+remotely%2C+we+will+need+to+keep+in+mind+that+we+are+essentially+on+a+retreat%2C+and+should+thus+conduct+ourselves+accordingly+%28even+if+we+are+attending+from+our+homes%29.%0APreliminary+Schedule%0AStart%3A+%0A%0AFriday+12+March+2021%0A7.00+pm+to+8.00+pm+%E2%80%93+Opening+session%0A%0ADaily+Schedule%3A%0ASat+13+March+to+Fri+19+March%0A%0A6.30+am+to+7.30+am+%E2%80+%28View+Full+Event+Description+Here%3A+https%3A%2F%2Ftararokpacentre.co.za%2Fevent%2Fzoom-retreat-with-donal-creedon%2F%29&amp;location=Zoom+Room%2C+South+Africa&amp;trp=false&amp;sprop=website:https:\/\/tararokpacentre.co.za&amp;ctz=Africa%2FJohannesburg\">+ GOOGLE CALENDAR<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/tararokpacentre.co.za\/event\/zoom-retreat-with-donal-creedon\/?ical=1&amp;tribe_display=\">+ ICAL EXPORT<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Theme: Bardo \u2018we are such stuff\u2019 \u201cWe are such stuffAs dreams are made on, and our little lifeIs rounded with a sleep.\u201dShakespeare: The Tempest iv.i.
